![]() It's more interesting, the writing is better, and it has two sequel series and an anime adaptation. ![]() For the younger audience who aren't ready for books over 100 or 200 pages, I'd suggest starting with Emily Rodda's Deltora Quest. If you're really trying to excite your children about the fantasy, Beast Quest isn't the series I would suggest. If they haven't seen all the stock characters and cliche plots before this, Beast Quest might be something they'll enjoy it might even be something that they'll look back on with nostalgia when they're all grown up (and hopefully have moved on to fantasy works of far better quality). Beast Quest might be a good starting point for children to get involved in the fantasy genre. We've all seen the evil overlords and sorcerers, the good wizards, the brave children, the missing father, and all the other fantasy cliches of Ferno the Fire Dragon over and over and over again.īut I think the thing to keep in mind with Beast Quest is that the target audience might not have seen all this before. I've seen the "two or three ten-year-olds who are for some reason the only people capable of or brave enough to completely this world-saving mission" plot more times than anyone can count. I've seen the "animals/monsters brainwashed by the nefarious McGuffin" plot plenty of times. my point is that there's absolutely nothing here that hasn't been done before. No! The Shikon no Tama shards? Chimera animas? Or-oh, whatever. Wait, no-that's the Digimon Emperor's Control Spires. Rather, it's a series in which two preteens, Tom and Elenna of Avantia, go on a quest to save the mythological Beasts-guardians of Avantia-from the brainwashing powers of Devimon's Black Gears. No! The Shikon If you, like I, were worried that Adam Blade's Beast Quest would be an extremely black-and-white adventure series about children pointlessly slaughtering Always Chaotic Evil "monsters", you can stop worrying. ![]() If you, like I, were worried that Adam Blade's Beast Quest would be an extremely black-and-white adventure series about children pointlessly slaughtering Always Chaotic Evil "monsters", you can stop worrying.
